GHOSTBUSTERS 3: Aykroyd Says Yes For 2012, Sony Not So Much

Deadline is reporting that Ghostbusters 3 is going to go into production in 2012, at least according to Dan Aykroyd who said so on the Dennis Miller radio show. Sony, however, may beg to differ given the following comment from Aykroyd: “That is our hope. We have an excellent script. What we have to remember is that Ghostbusters is bigger than any one component, although Billy was absolutely the lead and contributed to it in a massive way, as was the director and Harold (Ramis), myself and Sigourney (Weaver). The concept is much larger than any individual role and the promise of Ghostbusters 3 is that we get to hand the equipment and the franchise down to new blood.” As the website notes, however, without Bill Murray, the studio isn't interested.
